Bois Noir

by Aurélien Guichard

Robert Piguet Bois Noir is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2012, created by Aurélien Guichard. Bois Noir opens with Guaiac Wood and Cedar, settles into a heart of Sandalwood and Patchouli, and dries down to a base of Labdanum, Resin, and Musk. Robert Piguet's Bois Noir carries an Acquired verdict, a woody-led wear.

Bois Noir is a divisive, woody beast - a sophisticated autumn walk in a bottle for some, an acrid, headache-inducing pencil shaving for others. Try before you buy, but if the dark woods speak to you, it's a stellar, unique choice.

About

Step into a deep, dark forest where the air is thick with the scent of guaiac wood and cedar, leading to a heart of creamy sandalwood and earthy patchouli. The journey culminates in a resinous, balsamic drydown with hints of musk, creating a smoky, almost tar-like warmth. It's a journey through polished woods, incense, and ancient resins, creating a profoundly atmospheric experience.
